“The food, service, and atmosphere were all great.”
“Our server was beyond rude; rolling her eyes when we asked for rolls, sighing when we asked for anything (i.e. for our bottle of wine to be placed on the table and not at the server station, rolls), pouring the entire bottle of wine in our glasses before ”
“went here for brunch and had some really yummy eggs benedict.”
“The food is always wonderful, and the menu changes with the seasons so that you are always able to try something new.”
“As noted in a previous post months ago about Union, Aquitaine is our favorite wine restaurant in the Woods/Gates empire, but it still needs help.”
“This is not at all a bad review, we love Aquitaine and will return as long as it's there and we can chew, this is just a tiny cry, a good-spirited plea for help.”
“Warm and friendly greeting at door, cozy banquettes, soft upbeat music, attentive service and super flovarful; food”
“The brunch is a great value for excellent food.”

A great chic experience. Went there for my anniversary and it was great. The place was buzzing and it was great to be there in that organized madness. The waiter was very kind and did a great job serving us. The food, nothing but top notch. I finally got to try some creme-brulee for dessert! The only bad thing, but hey it's Boston, was the parking situation. Had to pay I believe was $15, but the time there was worth it.…
Nice place for brunch, but not overly spectacular. I went to Aquitaine for the Prix Fixe Sunday Brunch with a close friend. We started out with coffee and water, then went on to the real drinks, a Bloody Mary and a Martini!! (Sunday morning, why not?) Their Bloody Marys are spicy! The Prix Fixe started with a cinnamon roll, which looked a bit small, it ended up being the perfect size and uber delicious. (I love cinnamon rolls, so I was in heaven.) Next we got our main course, eggs, toast, and home fries (potatoes also spicy!). We both liked it, but wasn't over-the-top amazing. Overall, we both thought the food was good, but not spectacular. The $9.95 was a good price for the Prix Fixe, but considering the drink prices, the price is doubled, for sure. Still, a nice way to spend a Sunday morning! :)…
it was ok- but overrated. I had wanted to try this place for quite awhile. Making a reservation was definitely the right way to go for brunch on a Saturday. While our table was being cleared we sat at the bar (tiny but nice) and had delicious bloody mary's. Once we were seated (and a bit squished between the other tables)- was excited to eat as I'd already checked out the menu! I ordered the eggs benedict that came with tomato and avocado- i liked that the egg wasn't too runny or too hard- but i got one sliver of avocado for both halves of my english muffin. by the time i ate the first half with its egg- i had no avocado for the second half. Obviously this isn't a big deal but for the prices- eh- it's overrated!…
BRUNCH - Don't bother!. Of all the brunch options in the South End, I suggest putting Aquitaine at the bottom of your list. I've been there for dinner and have always enjoyed it. Brunch seems to be a different story. First, the price: $8-$15 entrees (for eggs?!) and $9.50 mimosas? Come on. Secondly, I don't mind higher prices if the quality is there. Unfortunately, Aquitaine just did not deliver. I ordered "Eggs Benedict Provencal" ($9.95) with heirloom tomatoes, avocado and herbes fines. Sounds yummy, huh? What I got: english muffin with two skinny slices of Roma tomato (like you'd find at Stop-n-Shop), two HARD-poached eggs, one tiny sliver of (browning) avocado, a goodly amount of delicious hollandaise, and a sprinkling of parsley. Hardly what I expected! I considered sending it back, but I didn't want to ruin brunch with my friends AND the food took so long I was starving! All in all, I would have to say it was a huge miss for me.…
Great food, wonderful service.....
Aquitaine is one of Boston's premier restaurants, the restaurant / French bistro currently holds an award winning wine list that boasts both French and American wines. The food is outstanding, and
the kitchen is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, what?s not to love? I hear that Aquitaine on Tremont has been in business for over ten years now, and I for one can't stay away. For wine connoisseurs and food aficionados, this romantic restaurant has a classy atmosphere of both a classic and contemporary French bistro. Above all, the service is great, and their prices are astonishingly reasonable.
Bon Appetit!…
